FRANK PREVOST, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA, ASSIGNOR 0F ONE-HALF TOCON DRISCOLL, OF OAKLAND, CALIFORNIA.

PROCESS OF MAKING A FOOD PRODUCT.

No Drawing.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRANK PREVOST, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Oakland, in thecount-y of Alameda and State of California, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Process of Maklng a Food Product, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a food product and the process of making the same. Pat ent 1,028,005 issued on May 28, 1912, under which I am the assignee of a one-half interest, discloses the combining of complete fresh eggs, sugar and cream and by complete I mean both the white and the yolk of the egg.

In my co-pending application, Serial Number 7,38,641, filed on the 26th day of December, 1912 I'claim; the preparation in powdered form of the yolks of the egg separate from the whites, together with the proper amount of sugar, but with the cream' omitted. In many cases it is desired to use the white and yolk separately and by preparing them separately they may be used separately or may be combined after being' reduced to powdered form.

The present invention contemplates the preparation in powdered form of the white of the e g after said white is separated from the yol said whites having the proper amount of sugar added thereto, and the resultant composition is then beaten fromtime to time.and permitted to; become dry after which it isreduced to powdered form and is ready for the market. While the proportion of sugar may be somewhat va-- ried, I have found that approximately fiveeighths as much sugar by weight as of egg produces a very desirableproduct. Forinstance to twenty-four ounces of the-whites of eggs is added twelve ounces of sugar. In this respect the product radically/differs Specification of Letters Patent.

from that set forth in the above named patent, where approximately twice as much sugar as of egg was used.

From the foregoing description it is apparent that this process produces a powdered product useful in the culinary arts,

riod Without spoiling, and one which is very convenient to handle. By virtue of this invention-it is possible to reduce the eggs to this economical form in country districts. and at times when eggs are plentiful and to ship the product long distances to the market. The great care necessary in packing eggs need not be used in packing this product, and here again further economy is achieved. I am aware of the factthat the whites of eggs and sugar are daily used both together and separately in cookmg, but I am not aware that the ingredients have ever been reduced to this form in the manner set forth, or in the pnoportions indicated.

Having described my invention what I claim is v 1. The hereindescribed process of preparing a food compound consisting in separating the whites and yolks of eggs, adding sugar to said whites and thoroughly whipping said whites and said sugar from time to time until they become dry.

2. The hereindescribed process of preparing a food compound consistin in separating the whites and yolks of eggs, adding sugar to said whites and thoroughly whip ping said whites and sald sugar from t me to time until they become dry and reducing the dry mass to powdered form.
